Loving Father, Daddy,
You know that we’ve had many chats;
And in them I have confessed all the right promises, in faith; I believe;
I have bound and loosed in your name!
I have changed my mindset to align with your Word;
I have even shared and encouraged some of my hope and trust in you;
When they wonder how I go on, moving on anew.
Yet in the quiet, I wonder how? why? when?
Does this mean that I am not using the measure of faith that you have given me?
{mosimage}I am a believer of your name and in your precious blood to heal and restore;
I dream and think big as you tell me to;
I call and act on things that are not as if they are.
I have some old dreams that I want to come true; and some new ones too.
Yet Dad, in the quiet, I know that you are my redeemer, and the lover of my soul.
Though my eyes are sometimes blind to your ways; yet I know that you think and ponder on only good things for me;
{mosimage}Working behind the scenes to bring me out and to bring me to what I desire of you.
So Lord, I wait for you, not in haste; but in faith;
Lifting your precious name, as I love to;
In worship and in praise;
And as your power and unfailing love moves over me.
Yet will I wait for you.
